Title: Improvements in Turbine Engines.
Inventor: FULMER HARVEY BATES
Filed: 1908-03-24
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 6572. Fnlmer, H. B. April 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-A turbine comprises two stationary bowls 1, Fig. 2, the truncated ends of which are screwed together in a threaded collar 4, and two truncated cones 2, the ends of which bear against the ends of the stationary bowls and are fastened to the shaft 6 by a key 7<1111>. The bowls 1 are mounted loose on the shaft in a casing 1<1>, and the ends of the cones are covered by plates 16 screwed on to the shaft, which passes through the plates and through box-bearings 19 bolted to the end casings 10. The inner surfaces of the stationary bowls are provided with a series of circular steps b<2>, Fig. 11, extending around the surface, and the steps are provided with a series of channels b cut out of the bowls and increasing in depth from the centre outwards, the channels being limited at the sides by angular blades b<1> ; the inclination of the channels, and the blade angles decrease from the centre outwards. Similarly, the outer surfaces of the revolving cones are provided with a series of steps a", Fig. 12, provided with channels or pockets a increasing in depth from the centre outwards, the channels being limited at their sides by angular blades a<1> made integral with the cones ; the inclination of the channels, and the blade angles, as before, increase from the centre outwards, while rectangular blades w are provided at the periphery. Steam enters through a pipe 12, which is branched at its lower end to admit steam through ports 13 on either side of the shaft, and passes outside through the steps of blades, imparting rotation to the rotor. From the blades, the steam passes through annular chambers 10<1> to the exhaust 11. Steam may also be admitted through an auxiliary pipe 15, whence it passes through ports 15', 15<11> and enters the annular space at the third step in the blades. A single bowl and cone may be used.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Means for Fluid Operated Motors.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
Filed: 1908-04-08
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 7829. Parsons, C. A., and Bowerbank, A. W. April 8. Double-beat valves; rotary or oscillating cylindrical valves.-A regulating-valve and an emergency valve arranged in series for controlling fluidoperated motors are placed concentrically within one chamber or conduit, the valves being operated automatically independently of one another, or controlled from a common governor or from two separate governors. In the form shown in Fig. 1, an ordinary controlling-valve a of the double-beat type bears on two seatings b, c formed in a detachable member d. An emergency double-beat valve g is arranged outside and around the detachable member d, and bears on two seatings h, i on the exterior of this member. The inner and outer valves are guided respectively by upper and lower extensions f, l of a central spindle secured to the member d. The spindle j connected to the valve a passes upwardly through the casing and carries a spring-pressed piston m, the steam acting on which is under the control of the relay plunger n. The emergency valve g is connected by a spindle o to a piston r, working in a cylinder and pressed upwards, so as to close the valve, by a spring t. The piston r works substantially fluid-tight and thus acts as a dash-pot to prevent too sudden 'closure of the valve. The emergency valve g is normally held open by means of a lever, the arm v of which bears on a collar u on the spindle o, while the arm x engages a catch device under the control of the governor, the catch being released when the governor reaches a certain predetermined speed. In modifications, the emergency valve g is replaced by a rotary valve, held open by a catch in a similar manner and closed by a spring ; or a rotary valve replaces the regulating-valve ; or two rotary valves are employed. Weights or the like may replace the springs for closing the valve.

In the form shown in Fig. 8, the extension bar d is made with a groove, and the hinge is provided with a dovetailed flap k for building the hinge directly into the wall. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the bars d are provided with slots l, the casement being secured to the bars by bolts m having rollers or sleeves p to reduce friction. The casement may be secured in any position by a thumb-screw h, Fig. 7, passing through a screwed boss i and a hole in the tube e.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Earthenware Articles
Inventor: ARROWSMITH THOMAS
Filed: 1908-07-30
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 16,215. Arrowsmith, T., and Johnson, E. July 30. Pottery.-The shaping or cutting tool used in the manufacture of undercut or "bellied" earthenware articles, especially those of elliptical shape, is carried by a slide a working in a slot in an arm b which is mounted on a vertical support so as to have a straight line movement, or is secured as shown in Fig. 5 to a pivoted counterweighted lever c so as to have a curved movement. The slide a is moved to bring the shaping-tool into its operative position by means of a bell-crank lever f pivoted to a bracket h on the arm b, the motion being limited by an adjustable stop i and retarded by a apring j, which restores the slide to its original position when the bell-crank lever is released. The arm b may be provided with a handle or grip k.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Refractory Bricks, Furnace Linings, Cement, and the like.
Inventor: FLUDDER GEORGE CANNAN
IPC: C04B33/13
Filed: 1909-01-02
Granted: 1910-04-04
Abstract: 113. Fludder, G. C., Fludder, A. W., and Fludder, G. E. Jan. 2. Refractory substances.-In making refractory bricks, furnace linings, cements, &c., aluminium sulphate is used as a binder for various forms of siliceous materials, bauxite, magnesite, chrome ore, &c. In forming bricks, the silica or the like is ground and mixed in a heated mixer with a hot solution of aluminium sulphate until in a proper state for moulding. For making a harder material, ground magnesium silicate may be added to the silica before the aluminium sulphate. One per cent of aluminium sulphate is sufficient for an unburnt article, while two to three per cent is added if the material is to be burnt to a high temperature. Cements and furnace linings are also formed from ground aggregates and magnesium silicate moistened with a one-per-cent solution of aluminium sulphate in water.

Inventor: PRIDEAUX SIDNEY HERBERT
IPC: F16L37/252
Filed: 1909-03-16
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 6216. Prideaux, S. H., and Barber, J. March 16. Bayonet joints; overlap joints with packing at base of socket; with valves. - Relates to bayonet couplings of the kind referred to in Specification 10,199/07, and has for its object to adapt such couplings for subaqueous use, as in diving - bells, or submarines, by providing the coupling with a selfclosing valve. A piston valve A, sliding in a cylindrical casing B, is operated to close lateral openings D and bear on a seating C by a spring E when the parts are uncoupled. Waterpressure outside the valve is balanced by air from the diving-suit gaining access to the rear of the piston A through perforations G. A like result may be obtained by providing the rear of the piston valve with a cup H. When the parts are coupled, the valve is opened by a member I engaging a projection a on the valve. To facilitate coupling and uncoupling, the pipe is connected to a sleeve K rotatably mounted on the spigot J of the coupling, and held in place by a nut L and sleeve M, the latter having a set-screw O. The female coupling- member carries a rubber or like jointing washer P.
